I have never like the whole concept of work-life balance. It implies that both areas have equal importance and the honest truth is they don’t. Balance also creates competing priorities instead of integrating your life around core values. Mark Merrill has some compelling thoughts:
“I’m talking about the work-life balance that we are so often told to pursue; the search term brings up almost 200,000 Google results. The idea is that if we try hard enough, we can keep everything in our life in good order and perfect harmony.”
